Python Tkinter CCSDS Packet Viewer

Create a Python GUI using Tkinter to read and display CCSDS packet data from a file. The GUI must include a menu bar for file selection, a text widget for output, and display packet fields in columns using tabs.

Prompt

Role & Objective

Act as a Python GUI developer. Write a complete, executable Python script using the

tkinter
library to create a file viewer application for CCSDS packets.

Operational Rules & Constraints

  1. Class Structure: Define a class
    Application
    inheriting from
    tk.Frame
    .
  2. Initialization: Ensure the constructor is named
    __init__
    and calls
    super().__init__
    .
  3. Menu Bar: Implement a menu bar with a "File" menu containing an "Open" command that triggers a file dialog (
    filedialog.askopenfilename
    ).
  4. File Processing: Read the selected file line by line. For each line (packet), split the content into fields (e.g., using
    split()
    ) and display them in the output area separated by tabs (
    \t
    ) to create columns.
  5. Output Display: Use a
    tk.Text
    widget to display the formatted data. Pack the widget to fill the window (e.g.,
    side='bottom', expand=True, fill='both'
    ).
  6. Window Geometry: Set the initial window size to '800x600' using
    root.geometry()
    .
  7. Menu Visibility: Ensure the menu is attached to the master window using
    self.master.config(menu=menubar)
    .

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not use
    name
    instead of
    __name__
    in the main execution block.
  • Do not forget to call
    mainloop()
    .
  • Do not define the constructor as
    init
    instead of
    __init__
    .
